Long Day Blues🫂🥹

Ever melt into a hug and feel the day just lift off your shoulders? Hugs trigger the release of oxytocin, the bonding chemical that dials down stress hormones and shifts your nervous system from alert mode into recovery mode.

A hug works faster than a scroll, wine or tv! Within seconds, heart rate steadies, muscles loosen, and your brain begins to wire itself back toward balance and comfort.

A simple hug acts like a built-in switch that resets your whole system.

We’re F I V E! 🥹🥳🎉

I can’t believe we have reached this milestone! To see year 5 is a blessing that I am incredibly thankful and grateful for.

Reflecting on the last 20 years (whoa), each year ending in 5 has lead to this very moment. I cannot thank all of you enough!

Every client, colleague, referrer, post liker & sharer,: your support has carried and developed me both personally and professionally.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!💛

Here’s to more growth, therapeutic metaphors and silly reels! Following tradition, let’s give you 5 random facts about me:

• I just added #11 to the tattoo collection - don’t tell my mom! 👀🤭

• I love photography and painting…albeit my painting skills are limited!👩🏾‍🎨😅

• I played baseball for 10 years, call me Babe Ruth ⚾️🧢

• I love quirky or decorative earrings! You’ll catch me wearing them in the office.😉💁🏾‍♀️

• I’m up for anything adventurous…bungee swing anyone?! Swimming with great whites?! Yes!🗺️🦈

Your thought...and it’s gone!

Ever had a moment when you just forgot something mid sentence. No panic, research tells us that when you suddenly lose your train of thought every now and then, your brain waves slow down and synchronise, almost exactly like in deep sleep.

“Mind blanking” shows up on brain scans as large, coordinated slow waves across multiple regions, briefly pulling you offline…like a mini nap!

It might be your brain’s way of resetting attention and clearing mental clutter, but it also means the words you were about to say get swept away with the tide.

And we’re back!🧠📈

After an extended break, your brain doesn’t instantly shift from rest to routine. The prefrontal cortex (your internal organiser, planner, and filter) slows down when structure disappears. Add disrupted sleep, rich food, and irregular dopamine hits (aka rum 🥃 , vibes 💃🏾, and no deadlines 📉) your executive function takes a temporary dip.

Expect to feel foggy or even disoriented on your first day back. Your brain is recalibrating!

To help bounce back aim for consistent wake times, hydration, and starting out with simple tasks!

Cup Match time!!🏏🩵💙❤️💙

Trash talk is flying, colours are loud, and your whole body feels charged before the first ball.

During moments like Cup Match, the insula and anterior cingulate cortex fire up (the same areas that activate when you’re standing up for someone you love).

Your brain doesn’t treat the Cup Match rivalry like fun and games. It treats it like family, identity, loyalty, and social survival.

The colours, chants, and energy in the air act like emotional triggers.You’re not just hyped. You’re hardwired for this.

IT’S BLUE & BLUE FOREVER BTW!!🩵💙🩵💙

Whats the tea?☕️

You know that spark you feel when someone says, “Wait till you hear this”? Your attention locks in, your brain perks up, and suddenly you’re wide awake.

When you hear gossip, your brain releases dopamine, the same chemical that fires when something feels exciting or rewarding. The prefrontal cortex (logic and attention) starts working to help you make sense of social clues, and the amygdala kicks in to process the emotional weight.

You’re not just being messy! Your brain is hardwired to care about who did what, who’s safe, and where you fit. Essentially, gossip feels so good to your brain.

Panic in 3,2,1…😰

We’ve all felt that jolt when someone texts “can we talk?”. Your heart drops and your mind goes a mile a minute.

That response is your brain reacting to uncertainty. In these moments, the amygdala (fear) activates, cortisol spikes, and the prefrontal cortex (thinking and regulation) slows down.

Your brain starts scanning for threats: it replays old conversations, braces for conflict, or assumes something bad is coming. You’re not overreacting, your brain is trying to prepare you from the unknown.

Soft Life Era🧠💖

Entering our soft life era is more than just a vibe; It’s a neurobiological requirement. That’s because the brain cannot heal in survival mode.

When your nervous system is stuck in survival, the brain stays on high alert. Stress hormones like cortisol stay elevated, your amygdala (fear) becomes overactive, and the prefrontal cortex (responsible for reason and emotional regulation) slows down.

‼️In relationships, Love will feel like a risk, not a refuge.‼️You might pull away when things feel good, lash out when you’re overwhelmed, or expect rejection even when you’re being reassured. In this mode, it makes it harder to feel calm, think clearly, or trust what’s in front of you.

Quick regulation can look like slowing and regulating your breath, grounding through your senses, naming what you feel and briefly stepping away from triggers.

When you create a space for you to respond rather than react, that’s the first step to a soft life.💖

Hot In Here!!🥵☀️

Heat doesn’t just drain your energy; It directly disrupts how your brain functions!

As your body temperature rises, blood moves away from your brain to help cool you down. As a result, you start to think slower, react quicker, and forget things you just had in your head.

Dehydration makes it worse, shrinking brain tissue and disrupting the areas that manage focus, memory, and emotional control.

So you’re not imagining the brain fog, the short fuse, or the way everything suddenly feels harder. That’s heat!
